Brown pelican

One sight we saw from The Spinnaker last Saturday was a brown pelican sitting on some nearby rocks, along with a gull to give some perspective on its size. 

The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is the smallest of the eight species of pelican, although it is a large bird in nearly every other regard. It is 106–137 cm (42–54 in) in length, weighs from 2.75 to 5.5 kg (6-12 lb) and has a wingspan from 1.83 to 2.5 m (6 to 8.2 ft).  Thanks, Wikipedia.

Gull on the Crek

Yesterday we walked along Corte Madera Creek at low tide, where we saw this gull looking for breakfast on the edge of the water. The shadows above are reflections of the opposite shore.
